GC9901 – GC9944 Schottky Barrier Diodes ® TM For Mixers and Detectors RoHS Compliant DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES This series of devices meets RoHS requirements per EU Directive 2002/95/EC. Monolithic design for lowest parasitics Low Conversion Loss Suitable for applications to 26.5 GHz Excellent Noise Figure Available in low, medium and high barrier heights Can be supplied as monolithic devices for hybrid applications or as packaged devices www.MICROSEMI.com Schottky Barrier devices are currently available in single beamlead, dual “T”, ring quad and bridge quad configurations. Devices are available in monolithic form for hybrid applications as well as in hermetic or non-hermetic packages. Monolithic devices are recommended for highest frequency, broadband designs. The beamlead design eliminates the problems associated with wire bonding very small junction devices thus improving reliability and performance in MIC applications. Our in house epitaxy process capability insures repeatability for lowest conversion loss through Ku Band. A broad range of unique metallization schemes produce Microsemi’s complete line of barrier heights. Diodes are currently available with barrier heights as low as 240 mV and up to 625 mV per junction. By optimizing epitaxy and metallization, these devices achieve the lowest RS-CJ products resulting in exceptional conversion loss performance. “High Rel” screening is available on packaged devices per your requirements. 1 RoHS Compliant 1 APPLICATIONS Schottky barrier diodes are suitable for a variety of circuit applications ranging from single ended RF mixers to low level high speed switching. The monolithic beamlead design minimizes parasitic inductance and capacitance insuring repeatable performance through Ku band. Single junction devices such as the style ‘S12’ are well suited for RF Mixers, level detectors, phase detectors, modulators, etc. With junction capacitances as low as .06 pF, Monolithic Quads are ideally suited for broadband double balanced mixer designs through 26.5 GHz. The Ultra-Low Barrier devices (GC9900 Series) are designed for mixers with low or starved Local Oscillator levels where optimal conversion loss is a must. High barrier diodes, (GC9940 Series) are designed for applications where high drive levels are available, such as, Doppler mixers or motion detection. Schottky diodes are available in UltraLow, Medium and High Drive levels to fit virtually any circuit requirement. These devices are supplied with Gold plated terminations.
